I don't know the details but people report that
kunwind_recover_return_address() hits this warning.
I know absolutely nothing about arm64 or kernel/trace/fgraph.c, but at
first glance this code looks broken:
kunwind_recover_return_address:
...
orig_pc = ftrace_graph_ret_addr(state->task, NULL,
state->common.pc,
(void *)state->common.fp);
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(state->common.pc == orig_pc))
ftrace_graph_ret_addr:
...
if (!idx)
return ret;
given that kunwind_recover_return_address() passes idx == NULL to
ftrace_graph_ret_addr(), it should always return ret == state->common.pc ?
Perhaps this connects to 29c1c24a27 ("function_graph: Fix up ftrace_graph_ret_addr()")
and I have no idea if something like the patch below makes any sense.

Ah, sorry for the noise, I looked into the wrong tree, missed the recent

Your finding is accurate.
It has been fixed in upstream by c060f93253ca ("arm64: stacktrace: fix
the usage of ftrace_graph_ret_addr()")
See: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.11/source/arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c#L111
Thanks,

Yes, I have already found that commit, see my next email ;)
Nevertheless, thanks a lot Puranjay for the confirmation!
